PATIENT REVIEWS

These dentists did such a terrific job with me and my family that…when we moved over an hour away, we decided we’d still use them. Whenever there’s a business that’s far from where you live, and you’re still willing to make that drive, that shows what a great service they provide.

I’ve been going here since I was a kid and I’ll be a patient here for years to come! Since I moved away from Southern CA a few years ago, I’ve had to get check ups at other dentist offices several times; those experiences only reminded me how important and rare a GREAT experience at the dentist is. They care for you and treat you like you’re family – I highly recommend!

Never have I liked the dentist but going to Dr. Tabornal changed my mind. They were always welcoming and truly the best dentist I’ve ever gone to. I will miss this office and everyone in it but if I’m ever back in Cali I’ll make the drive to them.

From the exceptional service Janean started to a great dental assistant, Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran followed up wonderfully. They run a fantastic family practice. I was referred locally by a friend of mine and I am so pleased to say I now live 40 mins away and won’t change dentists until we leave San Diego! Extreem attention to detail, very warm, welcoming customer service and it’s a personable environment. I don’t fear the dentist, I look forward to it!

They are both the best dentists. My three children and I have been going here for years and love how amazing and gentle they are. We feel like family when we see them. I can’t tell you enough about how amazing the entire staff is. We highly recommend them.

The best dentists I have ever visited! They truly treat you like family and care about your health. I was referred to them from a friend, and I will always continue to highly recommend this incredible staff. Thank you for your kind hearts and professionalism!

Doctors Ephraim Tabornal and Allison Tran have been our Family Dentists, since 1995, more than 22 years.  To say they are Outstanding Dentists would be an understatement, because they are so much more.  They have cared for our family as if we were part of their own, and we love them.  Our children have grown up with them, and still go to them for their dental care today as adults.  From your first phone call to schedule an appointment you will find that Ephraim, Allison and the entire staff at Island In The Hills Dentistry are simply the best!  They will be our dentists for life!  If you are new to this area and looking for a family dentist, it is with my strongest possible recommendation, that I suggest you place them at the very top of your list!  I promise, you will be glad you did!

I absolutely love this place!!. It’s not easy finding a good dentist and I promise you , you won’t be disappointed when you chose them. They get the kids motivated to keep their teeth clean. I now travel almost a hour just so I keep them. I highly recommend them!

You are in good hand by coming in here � It doesn’t matter of Big or Small dental needs!Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran will take good care of you � With their special care, I’m sure you will be very happy � Warrantee �

My family absolutely loves this dentist office. Dr. Tran and Dr. Tabornal are so great and always make sure their patients are comfortable and well taken care of. They are the type of dentist that you know you will feel happy bringing your family back to time after time. I would highly recommended their office to anyone who asks!!

I am now a permanent patient here! Had a dental emergency come up and they got me in quickly. The staff was super friendly and the Dr was very nice. The office is clean but inviting. I absolutely love this office. Especially since my kids and I can be in the same office.

My friend had been looking for a dentist for some time. She finally found a pair of great ones. These two are terrific people, very professional, and did a great job. She couldn’t be more happy with her service, and this after looking for a variety of dentists (and not being to thrilled with the other ones nearby). If I didn’t already have a dentist right next to where I lived, I’d be a patient here, too.

As I sit in the office of Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran I am reminded of the many visits my family and I have made. Since my first visit at 18 years of age, I have felt welcomed and part of the family. As my family grew there was no question about where my little ones would have their first dental check up, each one of my girls, 4 of them, have all been to this office; there is constant bickering of who will be seen first and by whom. It is clear that both Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran love their job and do their very best at each and every visit. I currently travel over 30 miles just to visit this office as I have had less than desired experience at dentist office locations near me. I am not a big fan of corporate chains or offices that care more about over charging my insurance rather than providing quality dental work. Thank you Island in the Hills Dental Office for providing the same quality service for so many years.

We have been going to Dr. Tran and Dr. Tabornal for about 8 years and LOVE them! They have a lot of patience for nervous dental patients…like me! My kids love Dr. Tran, and the rest of the staff are awesome too! �

Myself and my children were treated extremely kindly by the staff. Dr Tabornal and Dr Tran were both professional and sweet. As I’ve been to horrible dentists before that entailed allegedly professional dentists poking fun at other patient’s teeth, to have a supporting staff that appears to earnestly want to help is something I am sincerely in awe of. The dentists at Island in the Hill ensure that my welfare is above all the rest — when in surgery or out of surgery, or even after a check up, they call to make sure you’re okay. For those who are deathly afraid of dentists, this is coming from somebody who was on the same page as you not only a few months ago; now I enjoy my visits.

I went into this dental office with the fear of going to the dentist after having a bad experience with another dentist here in San Diego. They are caring, patient and gentle. They really care about there patients. DR. Tran and Dr. Tabornal always take time to answer all questions and explain everything. Thank You for taking such great care of my kiddos and myself.

Absolutely wonderful!! We’ve been going to Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran for 8+ years. They treat you like family. They fit you in if you have an emergency and are incredibly patient if you forget the time you should be there. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else.

Ugh! The 20 y.o. mesial aspect of #2 had fractured off – a restoration placed by a fellow dental student long ago. Off to Island in the Hills Dentistry. Why this office? In short, its a great office. A professional yet very personal office…and painless (really!) My restoration required a base due to the depth created by secondary caries (decay) underneath – so they used a protective layer that helps strengthen the surrounding tooth structure (wonderful stuff). They use strong restorative material, practice great techniques and and use the latest tools. My wife is a patient and our first daughter completed her orthodontic treatment here. She looks great! I know I’m not the only dentist who comes to Island in the Hills too – they’ve got a really good thing going here. It’s no wonder this is the place a dentist(s) selects for themselves!

Dr. Tabornal, Dr. Tran and the entire staff are extremely professional, courteous, caring and attentive to my needs. The staff notifies me in advance when I am due for a follow-up and/or an appointment. The staff is very accommodating and flexible when I can not make my appointment or need to change it. They operate according to their schedule. They are usually or always on time for me. The room is usually ready a few minutes after my arrival. The office is clean. The atmosphere makes me feel comfortable and at home. Music, or movie is always available. If I’d rather converse the staff would be there for me. I drive 180 miles round trip, 4 times a year to receive the best dental care and personal attention from Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran…because…there is no other office that can provide such care for me. I strongly recommend considering Dr. Tabornal/Dr. Tran for your family dentists.

Dr Tran and Dr Tabornal are a patient’s dream dentist team. My family and I drive over an hour for our appointments, and I’d rather do so many other things than to get my teeth worked on. The doctors are so gentle and careful. Went to another dentist for an emergency crown before an overseas biz trip, and unfortunately I regret that to this day. Thank you Dr Tran and Dr Tabornal for taking such great care of our family. And you have cared for our out of towners when they are in need as well. Can’t thank you enough, especially for tolerating my anxiety with those dental tools. Looking forward to technology breakthroughs when they can invent the tools with a silencer!!! — feeling blessed.

Everyone is friendly and easy to work with, and the front desk staff is communicative and efficient in scheduling appointments and working with insurance. I have nothing bad to say, and I don’t even like the dentist 😉

I needed to find a new dentist and looked up the ones local to me. Island in the Hills had consistently wonderful reviews! I was treated very kindly and constantly reassured that I would be taken care of like family. Dr. Tran and her dental assistant were so kind during both the dental cleaning and when filling cavities. They watched me and made sure to take breaks when they saw I needed one, and let me rest my jaw or catch my breath (I was having some allergies during one of the visits and they were so sweet and accommodating!). I am so thankful for them and for the good experience at the dentist’s office that they gave to me! My whole family will be coming here from now on!

Professional, helpful and kind. Have recommended them to two friends and both have the same to say. I never dread a visit because I know I’m in good hands at Island In The Hills Dentistry. My 1.5 y/o has had two check ups and they’re great with kids as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

They are amazing for both kids and adults. They fixed an issue I have been having for over 10 years in about 2 minutes. I have twin 5 year olds who are very nervous with doctors and dentists but they put them at easy immediately. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable dentist!

Island in the Hills Dentistry does and EXCELLENT job in all areas of dental work. The entire staff is very professional and caring. If you’re in the San Diego area and you’re looking for quality dental care this is definitely the place to visit. We absolutely LOVE the entire team there.❤️

Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran are hands down, the best dentists! They are wonderful for both kids and adults. My three young children absolutely love coming to the dentist because of them. In fact, my two year old cries if he is not the first one called back for his check-up! Dr. Tabornal and Dr. Tran are very personable and along with the rest of the staff in the office, make you feel comfortable the whole time you are there. They truly exceed the 5 star rating!!!

When I first moved to SD, I looked and researched for a great dentist. I actually went to another one before I came to Island In the Hills and I was not impressed. I felt like every dentist I went to recommended procedures that I didn’t need and charged an arm & leg! Fortunately, I found Dr. Tran and Dr. Taburnal and have been a patient for almost 4 years! They made me and my family feel welcomed and never tried to recommend things that didn’t need to be done!! They are always very honest, very informative and flexible with my busy schedule and the distance we would have to drive ( I have 5 kids and live in Murrieta – 60+ miles away)!The great staff is always caring and understanding and not once did I feel uncomfortable or pressured! I would definitely recommend Island In the Hills Dentistry to anyone and everyone looking for a dentist! If I have to drive more than 60 miles for a dental appt, then that tells you something!!
